The conversation between the top Russian and US diplomats comes ahead of a planned summit between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump<\/strong><\/p>\n

Russia’s chief diplomat, Sergey Lavrov, has held a phone conversation with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the Foreign Ministry in Moscow announced on Monday.<\/p>\n

The ministry said the two diplomats held a “constructive discussion”<\/em> on ways to implement agreements previously reached between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart, Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

The US State Department later also confirmed the phone call, stating Rubio had emphasized “the importance of upcoming engagements as an opportunity for Moscow and Washington to collaborate on advancing a durable”<\/em> peace deal between Moscow and Kiev.<\/p>\n

The conversation comes after Putin and Trump spoke for the first time in nearly two months last week, discussing potential paths to resolving the Ukraine conflict.<\/p>\n

After last week’s call, the Kremlin and the White House announced that the two leaders had agreed to hold a summit in Budapest, Hungary in the near future to further discuss pathways towards a peace deal.<\/p>\n

Since then, Russian, US, and Hungarian officials have confirmed that preparations for the event are already underway.<\/p>\n

As previously stated by Trump, the preparations include direct contacts between Lavrov and Rubio, who are expected to determine the date for the summit.<\/p>\n

Reuters has reported, citing anonymous sources, that Lavrov and Rubio could next meet in person this week, possibly as early as Thursday.<\/p>\n

Trump described his two-and-a-half-hour conversation with Putin last week as “so productive”<\/em> that a peace deal could come soon.<\/p>\n

Russian and US officials have indicated that a summit will likely take place within two weeks. Putin aide Yury Ushakov confirmed the plans, saying preparations would start “without delay.”<\/em> Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto wrote on Facebook on Friday that preparations for the summit are “in full swing.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
